# Connection Error: Certification Path Failed/PKIX Path Building Failed This error might appear if Getint isn’t able to find a valid certification path to create a connection. {% hint style="warning" %} Please note that this issue is outside the scope of Getint support and is not specific to Getint software. It is related to the certificates used in your connections. {% endhint %} ### Issue: Connectivity Issues between Getint (On-Premise Version) and Other Tools Connection issues with other tools such as ServiceNow and Azure DevOps arise after replacing an expired SSL certificate. The following error message is displayed: Request failed with status code 500. PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target The problem occurs when an on-premise server uses a self-signed certificate. As a workaround, add this certificate to the list of trusted certificates in your JVM. You can either: 1. Edit the JAVA\_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts file. 2. Run your application with the -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore parameter. Make sure to verify which JDK/JRE you are using, as this is often a source of confusion. ### Additional Tips: * **Ensure Proper Certificate Chain**: Ensure that the certificate chain is complete and correctly installed on the server to avoid similar issues in the future. * **Regularly Update Certificates**: Schedule regular updates and replacements of SSL certificates to prevent disruptions. * **Consult Documentation**: Refer to your JVM’s and server's documentation for detailed instructions on managing certificates.
